Best 30 seconds of my day

At my local Shaw's picking up some bacon so that tomorrow we can have bacon and eggs for breakfast! I haven't had that kind of breakfast in close to a year and pretty much all I can think about right now is a nice slice of bacon. I quickly ran into the store and picked up all my needs.

Scene:
Me in the checkout line with a basket of eggs, bacon, wheat English muffins, assorted frozen treats, etc.
Old man about 75 years old bagging.
Me - "Excuse me, could I have just 1 paper bag."
Old man - looks me in the eye, and hands me 1 paper bag.
Me - Blushing and hands waving around, oh no...I meant for the groceries to go into.
Old man - totally serious face, "you asked for 1 bag", and then a slight glimmer of a smile.
Me - Melting with old person cuteness overload. And recognition that this same old man, who is most definitely a grand parent - or a Papa as my family calls them, well he bagged my groceries that last time I was there and he took the utmost care to not squoosh anything but fit it all nicely.
Me - "Thank you so much, have a nice weekend."
Old man - "See you later kid."

Super papa cuteness. I think that I'm going to try and checkout of his line every time I go to the store now, not that I'm stalking him or anything, but the cuteness is just too engulfing to avoid!
